Segun Runsewe, the Director-General of the National Council for Arts and Culture, has asked the House of Representatives to empower the council to put an end to nudity in Big Brother Nigeria reality TV show.
He disclosed this when he appeared before an ad hoc committee that was reviewing the duplication of ministries, departments, and agencies of government.
According to Runsewe, the organisers of the reality show are going against the culture of Nigeria by portraying nudity.
He asked for an amendment of the council’s act to enable them to go after BBN organisers.
He said, “I am the first person who took Big Brother Nigeria to the NBC to report them because they were having—I took it up and Big Brother (organisers) tried to reach me and I told them that if the culture in other parts of the world is to be naked – nudity, etc., they should not bring it to Nigeria because our culture is rich and it respects the integrity of our country.”

The DG added, “This honourable House just needs to empower us with just a legal framework and that nonsense will stop.”
Also speaking, the Chairman of the Committee, Victor Danzaria, argued that the government is expending so much resources on agencies that are doing the same functions.
“This is a waste for this country, we are looking at areas where we can shrink governance and increase productivity,” he said.
